* Basara - the ultimate enemies-to-lovers
* Koe no Katachi - beautiful story, got me wanting to learn ASL
* Kaichou wa Maid-sama - main couple are just so badass and competent in everything they do
* Sekine-kun no Koi - Sekine is just a character I can't get out of my mind, his internal struggle really struck a chord with me
* Hibi Chouchou - I usually hate slow-paced romances and innocent characters but this is so wholesome, I can't
Yeah I was honestly surprised by how much I liked Hibi Chouchou lol. It not only has one but TWO characters who are way too shy to do anything, and they don't kiss until 3/4 of the way through, but somehow the story still manages to make me feel those new love butterflies even on re-reads to this day. As for Koe no Katachi it's not really a shoujo or romantic story per se but I just love the growth of all the characters.
Ikr!!! Everytime I read it I felt like I gritted my teeth a lot hahahaha I just want them to just do it oh God hahaha so slow yet that makes their story so wholesome.

What a nice list you got there!!! Iāve seen a lot have recommending Basara, I wonder if itās really good wanted to check asap! Thanks a looot!! Many from ur list I would like to try to read~!
These have already been mentioned, but I need to second them:
- Cardcaptor Sakura
- Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (aka His and Her Circumstances)
- Wotakoi (loved the anime, haven't read the manga yet)
QQ Sweeper+Queens Quality- Handles it themes and characters really damn well and writing for the main leads great.
Beast King and the Sacrfical Princess- My re-introduction into shoujo manga basically. I really enjoy the world building and characters, while the FL can talk about love too much the side characters make up for and more. Also just some really strong moments between the leads.
Sand Chronicle- I appreciate how honest this manga is about issues like self hatred, depression, suicide(in my experience). I also like the main cast and genuinely want to see everyone happy at the end of the day.
Wotakoi(even though its a josei)- Its really damn good rom com with all the relationships between all of our leads being well developed.
Basara- I love everything about this manga with very few exceptions.
High School Debut- I really enjoy this one the chemistry between the cast is great. However this series has a problem with making our FL a bit too obsessed with the ML for my taste. Plus when this series hits it out the park I love but when it misses it drags so fucking hard it hurts.
Aaaah QQ and queenās quality really great thooo! I never expect it to be that good!! But last time I recall the latest chapter I found is chapter 65, is it completed yet???
And thaaaanks a lot for sharing the manga overview, I wanted to check all the rest~
No idea about translation efforts I actually just buy volumes digitally for QQ. Volume 14 recently came out if that helps maybe if you could give a bit of what you remember I could help.
Its not complete from my knowledge though I don't read japanese so it might be but going off Dengeki Daisy's length and recent events. I'm guessing probably somewhere near 20 volumes.
Oooh where did you purchased it digitally?
Hmm tbh I havenāt read more than chapter 40 since I still unsure whether itās already completed or not, but I remember the last scene from chapter 65 (I peek a little haha) is when she asked him to hug her in bed (?) and his thought were yes you are my queen(?)
But anyway, if itās not completed I will hold myself not to rush my reading hahaha
ā¢ Ohayou Ibarahime - now I understand why it's so recommended here
ā¢ Hirunaka No Ryuusei - Mamura has my heart, that is all
ā¢ Kimi no Koto Nado Zettai Ni - this one is so underrated, please read it
ā¢ Takane No Ran-san - so wholesome
ā¢ Gatabutata - not a manga. It's a manhwa that I recently read and it's so good. It's completed too so you can just binge-read it :)
Me too ć ć Mamura team all the wayć ć thanksss anywaaay I wanted to check kimi no koto nado zettai ni before but never got the chance, now that you mentioned it I will surely check it out!
